Why Boric acid exist in solid state ?

Boric acid exist as solid due to [ Boric [B(OH)3] ] hydrogen bonded together into two dimensional sheet.


famous salt of boric acid is "Borax" is uses in manufacturing of ENAMELS and glazes for pottery and disinfectant in medicine.

What is effect of heat on Borax?

When borax is strongly heated on loop of platinum wire, it loses water and form dehydrated disodium tetra borate which is swells into the white mass, which on further heating disodium tetra borate melts to form a transparent glassy solid called borax glass and borax bead.

When a solution of given salt is heated on bead , then volatile part of salt displaced by B2O3  and corresponding metaborates salt is formed which gives Characteristic colour on oxidizing and reducing flame and colour of the bead is noted in hot and cold for each type of flame. This is also called "BORAX BEAD TEST"

What are Nature of the alkali metal oxides(O-2), peroxides (O2-2) and superoxides (O-1/2) in hydrolysis reactions?

 They all act as bronsted base and accept proton from water like,

                                   O​−2+ H2​O(l)→2OH(aq)

                       2O2+2H2​O(l)→2OH(aq)+H2​O2​(l)+O2​(g)

We know that H+ accepters are base so alkali metal oxides(O-2), peroxides (O2-2) and superoxides (O-1/2) are abstract proton from water so they are Bronsted base.

Why does SiCl4 undergo hydrolysis whereas CCl4 doesn't?

Their is mainly two reason that's why  SiCl4 undergo hydrolysis while CCl4 Not .
First is steric hindrance , in case CCl4 Cl atoms  blocking the C atom and preventing water molecules (nucleophile) from attacking it easily. While in case SiCl4 , Si is larger than C so  there is less crowding so it is more susceptible to attack by the (water molecules) nucleophile.
Second reason is presence of vacant d orbital. Thus, Water, acting as nucleophile can attack easily at the vacant d orbital of Si and reaction will occur through penta co-ordinated transition state.But  in case of CCl4 due to the absence of d orbital and smaller size of carbon makes ligand environment more crowded and nucleophile can't easily attack to the central atom.
 

Which amine is most basic in gas phase? (3° 2° Or 1°)

Tertiary amines are more basic than secondary amines, which are more basic than primary because in the gas phase, their is less stearic effect as well as no solvation effect so amines exhibit their  basicities  due to the electron-releasing effects of the organic substituents only , Thus  3° amines,  has three ERG groups so it becomes more basic and ammonia is least basic than amines because their is no ERG .
